There is nothing there that specifies Jew or Gentile. Paul is talking to both Jewish and Gentile Christ followers, and He says that Jesus didn't die just for Christ followers (us, our sins), but He died for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD. There is no limit to "THE WHOLE WORLD". It is all of everyone who has ever been or will ever be born.The effects and scope are congruent or in harmony. For instance it was not just Hebrew people that had their sins purged by Christ, but some Gentiles as well in other locations in the earth.
